Strong in their faith, these amateur healers tended to ascribe their cures to the will of God, rather than to their ‘meager medieal resources. ‘As Western Europe struggled, a new civilization arose among. those who fillowed the teachings of Mohammed (670-692), The formerly nomadie peoples who united into the nations of Islam conquered huge areas of he Middle East and Africa, eventually expanding into Spain, Sicily, and Eastern Europe. Becausethei fiath taught them to respect the written word and those whe studied it, they tolerated the scholarship of the Christian sec tarians whohad led persecution inthe Eastern Roman Empire, the Nestorians, for example, established a famous school in Gondeshapur in the 6th century. ‘Among the Islamic nations, Greek writings. including those dealing with medicine, were translated into Arabic. At first the ‘Arabs accepted the authority of Greek medieal writings totaly, ‘especially those of Galen and Dioscorides. But as their sophis- ‘ication grew, Islamic medical men like Rhazes (860-032) and Avicenna (980-1063) added to the writings of the Greeks. The far-flung trading outposts ofthe conquering Arabs also brought new drags and spices to the centers of learning. Moreover, Arab physicians rejected the old idea shat foul-tasting medicines ‘worked best. Instead, they devoted a great deal of effort tomak- ing their dosage forms elegan: and palatable, through the sil ‘vering and gilding of pills and the use of syrups. “The new, more sophisticated medicines required elaborate preparation. In the cosmopolitan city of Baghdad of the 9th cen- fury, this work was taken over by specialists, the occupational ancestors of today’s pharmacists. In places such as Spain and southern Italy where the Islamic world interacted most with Feeovering western Europe, several of the institutions and developments of the more highly developed Arabic cultare— such as the xeparation of pharmacy and medicine—pessed over to the West. ‘By the mid.1th contury, when Frederick If, the ruler ofthe Kingdom of the Two Sicilie, codified the separate practice of pharmacy for the first ime in Europe, publie pharmacies had ecome relatively common in southern Europe. Practitioners of pharinacy had joined together within guilds, which sometimes included dealers in similar goods, such as spicers or grocers, or phiysicia ‘Arabic culture had returned classical scientific and medical knowledge to Europe. At centers such as Toledo and Salerno, the writings of the Grecks, which had been translated into, Arabic centaries before on the fringes of the old eastern half of the Roman Empire, were translated into Latin for the use of European scholars. Thus, at the emerging universities of Europe such as Paris(1150), Oxford (1167), and Salerno (1180), scholars discussed the works of the great’ medieal authorities such a Dioscorides, Galen, and Avicenna, ‘However, the debates on medicine among European aca- omies wore based on speculation, not abservation. Theirs wat ‘a philosophical pursuit, with no great impact on medical prac- tice, For significant change to occur in the use of druge, the scholastic approach had to be set aside and a more skeptical, observational methodology adopted. This new, experimental lage we now call the Renaissance THE RENAISSANCE AND EARLY MODERN EUROPE ‘The Renaissance. simply put, was the beginning of the modern period. Changes that had begun during the European Middle Ager, and wore stimulated further by contacte with other cultures, gained momentum. The burst of creative energy that ‘would result in our present shared culture ofthe West stemmed not from a single episode, but from a series of events, (CHAPTER 2: EVOLUTION OF PHARMACY 9 In 1453 Constantinople (Istanbul) fell to the conquering ‘Turks, and the remnants of the Greek schelarly community there fled west, carrying their books and knowledge with them. About that same time, Johann Gutenberg began printing, ‘with movable type, sterting an information revolution. Within ‘half century, Columbus discovered the New World, Vasco da Gama found the rea route to Indie that Columbus had sought, commerce based on money and banking was estab- lished, and syphilis raged through Europe. [t was a time for new ideas through reinterpretation of the old classical them ‘and through exploration on the high sea and in the laborator ‘The time was ripe for casting off the old concepts of diseases ‘and drugs of Galen. The new drugs that were arriving from far- off lands were unknown to the ancients. Printers, after fulfilling, the demand for religious books such as bibles’ and hymnals, turned to producing medical and pharmaceutical works, espe- cially those that could benefit from profuse and detailed illustra- tions. On the medical side, for example, this trend is exemplified in the anatomical masterworks of Andres Vesalius (1514-1564). For pharmacy, printing had a profound effect on the study of plant drugs, because illustrations of the plants could be re- produced easily. Medical botanists such as Otto Brunfels (1500-1534), Leonhart Fuchs (1501-1566), and John Gerard (1545-1612) illustrated their works with realiatie renditions of | plants, allowing readers to do serious field work or find the ‘Grugs needed for their practices, Among the most gifted of these investigators was Valerius Cordus (1515-1548), who also wrote ‘a work ia another popular genee—formula books. His Dispen- ssatorium (1516) became the official standard for the prepara- tion of medicines in the city of Nuremberg and generally is considered the first pharmacopeia. Although they were critical to the advancement of medical science, the nearly modern, precise works of Fucks and Vesal- ius did not influence the treatment of disease as much as the speculative, mystically tinged writings of an itinerant Swiss surgeon who dubbed himself “Paracelsus.” Born Philippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim in 1493, the year Columbus went on his second trip, this medical rebel represents well the combined attitudes of the common man, the scholarly physician, the practical surgeon, and the alchemist. The battles of Paracelsus against the static ideas of Galen, Avicenna, and other traditional authorities opened a window into the complicated mind of the Renaissance. As Erwin Ackerknecht observed in A Short History of Medicine, “Paracelsus is one of the most contradictory figures ofa contra ictory age. He waa more modern than moet of his contempo raries in his relentless and uncompromising drive for the new and in his opposition to bind cbedience to aushoritariaaismand books. On the other hand he was more medieval than most ofhis contemporaries in his all;pervading mystic religiosity. His writ- ings are a strange mixture of intelligent observation and mysti- cal nonsense, ofhumble sincerity and boasting megalomania.” Paracelsus was the most important advocate of chemically: prepared drugs from crude plant and mineral substances, yet he believed firmly that the collection of those substances should be determined by astrology. He stated, again and again, his total faith in observation while at the same time preaching the “doctrine of signature,” a belief that God had placed 2 sign on healing substances indicating their use against disease (eg, liverwort resembles a liver, so it must be {00d for liver ailments) An outspoken enemy of university-edueated physicians, Paracelsus denigrated their scholasticism and wrote his own works in his native language rather than in the traditional Latin. He harshly criticized pharmacy practitioners as vell, even though his advocacy of chemically prepared medicin« was to spark the growth of the modern pharmaceutical sci- fences. Chemical processes, especially distillation, empowered the follower of Paracelsus to isolate the healing principles of a drug, ite quintessence.

Many had come to North Ameriea to fpen their ovn shops, rather than wait years in their native lands for permission. nthe late 1860s the academie model of professionalism be- ing worked out by other so-called "new professions” such ax engineering attracted the attention of some pharmaceutical leaders. Using university degrees, plus state licensing or in- stitutional certification, these new professions set themselves apart fom other occupations as “communities of the compe- tent.” They sought to avoid the ordeals of the marketplace by putting a cognitive gap between their work and the publics Understanding. Theoretically, by controlling admissions to professional schools and raising examination standards, de- structive competition could he reduced or even eliminated LEGISLATION ‘The APhA responded to the movement ofthe late 1860s toward increased public protection and occupational security through law by publishing a model pharmacy act. Physicians and others concerned with the safe use of poisons and potent drugs had petitioned state legislatures for laws governing pharmacy. Ini- tally, pharmacists took @ negative view, reacting to the idea that physicians or bureauerats would gain authority over phar- macy practice via state inspectors or licensing beards. To ‘ensue that the profession's best interests would be protected, the APhA empowered a committee to draw up a model law. Refecting the ambivalent attitude of many pharmacists to. ward legal regulation, the APhA published and distributed their model law without endorsement. As small businessmen, pharmacists did not want outside restriction on their trade. During the 1870s state legislatures began considering ceamest pharmacy bills sponsored by nonpharmacists. Reacting to this trend, pharmacists organized statewide associations to coordinate support for their own bills, which were often ver- sions of the APhA model. Although not enthusiastic at first about regulation of their businesses, pharmacists wanted @ voice in the process. The eventual success oftheir efforts in the 1870s, 1880s, and 1890s evinced a changing attitude toward the pursuit of professionalism from the 186(s. ‘The bourdary hetween masters of the pharmaceatical art and mere store clerks, which had always been flimsy, was dix intograting Pharmacists sought new ways to demonstrate their competence and to separate themselves from ignorant drug sell cersand quacks. The evidence for this expertise, however, shifted away from individual achievement in the marketplace toward group identification and institutional certification. TRANSITION TO A MODERN PROFESSION ‘The period between 1870 and 1920 was transitional for both pharmacy and pharmaceutical education. Before the Civil Wat perhaps only 1in20 American pharmacists had finished formal Schooling in pharmacy, which had consisted of night courses to supplement apprenticeship training. With the passage of state Jaws requiring the examination ane registration of pharmacists from the 1870s on, pharmacy became part of the wave of pro- fessionalization sweeping across American society. The new professionals based ther claims of status on their diploma and licenses, not their preducts Pharmacy got caught up inthis trend, and evea though state laws did not require a pharmacy schoo diploma for Heensure ‘until the early 20th eentury, the prestige attached tothe sheep- skin attracted students tothe burgeoning numberof school, as public expectations inereased and “professional” became ® coveted ttle Pharmaccutical education around the turn of the century was related closely to practice as pharmacisteducators such as ‘Joseph Remington replaced the physicians and other nonphar ‘CHAPTER: EVOLUTION OF PHARMACY 13 macy practitioners who had dominated the earlier schonls.

The leaders of the university faculties helped transform pharmaceutical edu- cation from a vocational to a scientific orientation through Pharmacy programs that emphasized fulltime coursework and laboratory study. ‘During this period pharmacy’s part in health care salidified, the dispensing of medicines by physicians deslined. How. ever, the rise of the cut-rate drugstore and, more importantly, the chain drugstore, also oowurred during these 50 year, which further increased economic pressure on the profession. Bill, most pharmacists worked in their wn corner drug store, which became a fixture in American life withits shelves of patent medicines forall ils and a seda fountain for delighiful beverages; the proprieior, often called doc, atiended to the mi- nor aches and pains of customers or made chocolate sodas with equal skill Although the pharmacist relied on prescription com pounding for his professional identity, this provided only a small Fraction ofhis income. To proteet this independent and uniquely ‘American style of practice from the incursion oflarger retailers, the National Association of Retail Draggists (NARD) w: founded in 1898. At first the APhA weleomed and cocperat with he new aational organization, but the spit that eventually developed between the APhA, which was oriented to scientific and professional advancement, and NARD, which concentrated on the individual commercial success of owners, weakened the profession's voice in national affairs in the years to come. was an exciting time in medicine, with therapeutics un- dergoing a transformation. The germ theory of disease, cham pioned by laboratory scientists such as Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch, resulted in significant immunotogical advances in the 1880s and 1890s. Pasieur's rabies vaccine and Frail von Behring’s diphtheria antitoxin demonstrated that cures for infectious disoases could arise from the laboratory. Paul Ehriich transcended the biological effors of his predecessors when he introduced Salvarsan in 1910, the first chemothera- peutic agent. Although it fll short of Ehrich’ bullet, which could destroy microorg damaging the patient, Salvarsan did inspire others ta search for drugs with chemotherapeutic potential. Aside fom the biologicals, however, few ofthe drugs discovered during the late 19th and early 20th centuries had significant impact on the prevention or cure of disease. Industral research on érugs produced several new agents, such as the analgesic and antipyretic aspirin or the sedative chloral hydrate, that reduced the pain and sulfering associated With illness. Even though pharmacior sorved as important Outlets for sera, antitorins, and vaccines, mos ofthe medicines compounded or sold by pharmaciats around the turn of the century eased symptoms, rather than treated roa illnesses. 'As scientific pharmacolegy explained how drugs werked on a cellularandorgan system level, the concept of drags and their Actions held by professionals and laypeople diverged. The pub- lic clung to outdated ideas of humoralism augmented by a rmodicum of germ theory. Such beliefs made eonsumers suscep- tible to patent medicine advertising, which misled them into equating the effets of strong laxatives and analgesics with the aa You have either reached a page that is unavailable for viewing or reached your viewing limit for this book. aa You have either reached a page that is unavailable for viewing or reached your viewing limit for this book. aa You have either reached a page that is unavailable for viewing or reached your viewing limit for this book.

Reprrted with permission.) ‘The second characteristic of a professional is 2 set of specific ‘attitudes that influence professional behavior. The basic com- ponent of this set of ettitudes is altruism, an unselfish concern for the welfare of others: “The professional man, it has been said, does not work in order to be paid: he is paid in order that he may work. Every decision hhe makesin the course f his career is basedon his sense of what is right, not on his estimate of what is proftable”* Professionals are concerned with matters that are vital to the ‘health or well-being of their clients, The practitioner employs highly specialized technical knowledge, which the patient or client does not possess. Both the client's lack of knowledge and the vital nature of professional services provide the profes- sional with an opportunity to exploit the client. The conse- ‘quences of such exploitation are severe. The smocth functioning of the professions requires that the practitioner must consider the needs of the patient as paramount, relegating his or her ‘own material needs to an inferior posito Social sanction, the third characteristic of a professional, i a resultant effect of the two characteristics already discussed. Whether an occupation is considered to be a profession de- pends, to a large degree, on whether society views it as such. One measure of social sanction is the granting of exclusive rights of practice through the licensing power of the state, Licensing not only attempts to protect the public from in- competent practitioners, but also frequently creates a relation- ship of trust between society and the professionals, because ‘within the sphere of professional activities, the professional ex- ercises an authoritative power over pationts. As explained by Greenwood, “(he professional dictates what is good or evil for the client, ‘who has no choice but to accede to professional judgment. Here the premise is that, because he [or she] lacks the requisite theo- ratieal background, the elient eannot diagnose his [or hor] own ‘needs or discriminate among the range of possibilities for meet- ing them." ‘Theextent of the public's trust is a measure of the degree of so- ial sanction, and this is evident in society's permitting the ex- cercise of sovereign power over professional matters. Given the ‘egal monopoly inherent in professional licensing, the failure of society ta impose further centrale on the profession is sanction. ing, by implication, the profession's performance and selfregu- lation. Thus, profeaeions have evolved as occupations connected with high status.

Confidentiality and privacy have received a great deal of attention recently with the pas \ge and implementation of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability (HIPAA) Act. ‘Though often used interchangeably, the terms confidential ity and privacy do differ. A violation of privacy occurs in situa- tions where personal information is obtsined/revealed by an in- dividual who has not been granted access to such information, A compater hacker would be an example, Conversely, a viola tion of confidentiality results from the inappropriate release of personal information to others by a person, such as a health care professional, who has been granted access to such information Tn healthcare, it ix somotimes unclear which members of the health care team may have access to confidential medical records without the express consent of the patient, Should pharmacist or physical therapist earing for a patient have the same access to medical records that is afforded the patient's physician or hospital nurse? Another difficult ethical situation wolves a patient who explicitly expresses a desire not to have formation divulged to a member of the health care team. For example, a patient may tell a pharmacist of her decision to al- ter her prescribed therapeutic regimen, but request that the pharmecist not disclose this information to her physician. Confidentiality has the same two ethically justifiable ex- ceptions as does the principle of sutonomy, the harm princ- ple, and weak paternalism. As with autonomy, a pharmacist ‘may be ethically justified in violating the confidentiality of @ patient when keeping information private may harm others (harm prineple) or when the patient lacks autonomy (weak paternelism) Beneficence/Nonmaleficence Ronoficence and nonmaleficence are ethical principles that are, in a sense, complimentary to one another. Beneficence indi cates that you act in a manner to do good. Nonmaleficence refers to taking due care or avoiding harm. Beauchamp and Childress compare these related principles ‘The word nonmaleficence is sometimes used more broadly to inelude the prevention of harm and the removal of harmful con- ditions. However, because prevention and removal require pos- itive acts to assist others, we include them under beneficence along with the provision of benefit. Nonmaleticence is restricted to the noninflietien of harm. Fidelity Fidelity requires that pharmacists act in such a way as to demonstrate loyalty to their patients. A type of bond or promise is established between the practitioner and the patient. This professional relationship places on the pharmacist the burden of acting in the best interest of the patient, Pharmacists have an obligation of fidelity to all their patients, regardless of the length of the professional relationship. In community phar- macy, for example, practitioners have the same obligation to show fidelity to an oceasional patient as they have for a regular vastomer ‘The depth of the fidelity relationship between the pharma- cist and patient is a topic of ongoing discussion among phar. ‘macy ethicists, Two forms of fidelity are frequently alluded to: covenantal and contractual, Covenanial fdelity is often de- scribed as an intimate and spiritual commitment between indi viduals. Examples would inclade the fidelity of marriage and the fidelity between a member ofthe elergy and his or her con- gregation, Conversely, contractual fidelity does not involve & level of commitment beyond that owed another as the result of a binding agreement. An example of this form of fidelity would be the relationship one might have with a eontractor such as a plumber or electrician. What remains in dispute is where the (CHAPTER: ETHICS ANO PROFESSIONALISM 25, pharmacist-patient relationship lies along the continuum be- tween covenant and contract Verscity. bbe honest in their dealings with patients. There may be times when the violation of veracity may be ethically justifiable (as with the use of placebos), but the violation of this principle for ‘non-patient-centered reasons would appear to be unethical. In 1 professional relationship based upon professional fidelity, pa- spect that their pharmacist will be Distributive Justice ibutive justice refers to the equal distribution of the bene- fits and burdans of society among all members of this socioty. We often think of distributive justicein terms of our health care delivery system. This principle is frequently used as a jastfica- tion for providing health care as a right to all Americans. Even though justice instructs that pharmacistsdemonstrate an equivalent amount of care, pharmacists do not always pro- vide care with equal fervor to all patients. Sadly, issues such as the patient’ socioeconomic status often impact the level andi tensity of eare provided by health care professionals. Medicaid patients are sometimes provided a much lower quality of care than a patient who is a cash-paying customer or who has a full- coverage drug benefits plan. All too often, the eare provided by a health care professional is viewed in terms ofthe personal re- ‘ward for the professional, euch ax the level of reimbursement the care is likely to reap. Justice demands that the focus be on patients and theirmedical needs, not on the financial impact on the health eare professional." ETHICAL CODES Ethical principles and rules that apply to medical practice and. research, such as autonomy, beneficence, and justice, have long served as the basis for a system or code of ethical conduct. ‘Western medical ethics is primarily based on the Hippocratic code attributed to the Greek philosopher Hippocrates, 5th cen- ‘tury RC Medicine (American Medical Association) and phar- macy (Philadelphia College of Pharmacy) developed codes of conduct for their respective practitioners in 1848. As Montagne notes, “the guiding principles of these eodes were a respect for human life aad service to humanity.” The Holecaust during World War Il, and the subsequent Nuremberg trials, would prompt the first major development of a code dealing speci cally with experimentation on human subjects. ‘Subsequent to Nuremberg, several other codes of medical ethics were established. In 1949, the World Medical Association drafted the Geneva Convention Code of Medical Ethics, a eon- temporary version of the Hippocratic oath. In the 1960s, the ‘same organization established an ethical code on clinical re- search. In 1984, the Declaration of Helsinki was adopted based ‘upon the Nuremberg principles, and it was further revised in 1975. In 1972, the American Hospital Association issued a Statement ona Patient's Bill of Rights. In 1977, the Declaration of Hawaii provided ethical guidelines for clinical research in psychiatry. ‘Ethical cotes provide health care professionals with ethical principles and standards by which to guide their practice, How- ever, ethical principles and codes cannot hope to provide health care professionals with answers to every moral question that ‘may arise in the course of their practice. Ethical questions in health care involve decision-making that is usually situation- specific. The purpose of such principles and codes is not to pro- vide practitioners with right and wrong answers, but to offer them a framework to use when faced with ethical questions. As
